There was always this unsaid difference between us that I felt so strongly, although you were probably never aware of it.
You were always praised and complimented for your achievements. From day one, this bright light showered your existence. The spotlight was yours, you owned center stage.
I was always left in the darkest corner.
Occasionally the light from you would creep closer to me and a glimpse of me would be shown, but they didn't intend on me being in the spotlight. I was someone who was meant to be kept in the dark, someone who had more care put towards them, but only so that I would remain hidden. But, I don't think they meant it that way.
I don't think they intended to constrain me to a point where I began to dream about how it would be when I finally left. I don't think they meant to choke my vocal cords with their own. I don't think they meant it. But there has always been this unsaid difference between you and I. And I have simply lost the right words to express exactly what I mean.
